It is my belief that together with verse 41, we see in these verses an enumeration of what we commonly think of as "the means of grace." Baptism, the preaching of the word (apostles' doctrine), fellowship, breaking of bread (communion), and prayer. | Thank you. Does anyone here think that "breaking of bread" here refers to anything other than the Lord's Supper?

Beware of a religion without holdfasts. But if I get a grip upon a doctrine they call me a bigot. Let them do so. Bigotry is a hateful thing, and yet that which is now abused as bigotry is a great virtue, and greatly needed in these frivolous times. I have been inclined lately to start a new denomination, and call it "the Church of the Bigoted." Spurgeon
